It takes the better part of a day to read through the transcript of the hearings that led up to<br />

that conclusion, but for those who have the time, it is well worth the effort. <strong>The</strong>re is no<br />

better way to get an accurate perspective on how the Communists have secretly captured<br />

complete working control of the American staff positions within the United Nations. <strong>The</strong><br />

control.<br />

the New York grand jury which was investigating United States Communists in the United<br />

Nations, he avoided testifying by jumping to his death from a window of his apartment. He<br />

had been closely associated with Alger Hiss and other Soviet agents. Trygve Lie said that<br />

"Feller was a victim of the witch bunt, of the awful pressure of the hysterical assault upon<br />

the United Nations that reactionaries were promoting and using for their own ends." 28<br />

the preceding day, Schiller invoked the Fifth Amendment.<br />

Alexander H. Svenchanski: A naturalized American citizen born in Russia, Svenchanski's<br />

job at the United Nations was information officer. He broadcast news and other items to<br />

the Soviet Union. When asked if he was a Communist, he invoked the Fifth Amendment to<br />

avoid incriminating himself.<br />

Alfred J. Van Tassel: As chief of the economics section, special projects division of the<br />

technical assistance administration, Van Tassel's salary was $12,840. He organized and<br />

coordinated UN training seminars and demonstration centers around the world. He<br />

invoked the Fifth Amendment to avoid self-incrimination when asked about membership in<br />

the Communist party.<br />
